old lady in red

Shi Mei understood what Yuxiu meant, she felt that Yajuan might not be harmonious if she married her.

Yuxiu can only rely on the Rong Mansion, when Yajuan is wronged, Shimei and Mrs. Chen are good friends, so it is difficult to come up with ways to help Yajuan.

Jia Amnesty would not do anything to Yanhou's uncle's family, and Yajuan was simply given away for nothing.

Shi Mei nodded: "I know what you mean, I will let your younger brother pay attention to the daughter of the chief minister's family in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Also, your sister-in-law suggested that your cousin hire a niece from the clan in his hometown in Jinling, what do you think? "

Yuxiu said: "I wrote a letter to my cousin, and he said that as long as grandma thinks it's fine."

Shi Mei laughed: "What kind of talk is that?"

Yuxiu said: "I also think that as long as the person you like, mother, must be good."

Shi Mei said: "Then let Jia Shu and Jia Mei's daughter come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year, and then you and your cousin can see the character with your own eyes.

However, these two girls, Yajuan, should recognize each other. You can also ask Yajuan, she likes that girl.

I mean, both are good.

Or, Jia Xie and Jia Qi's family in the back street also have girls of the right age, and now they all have fifth-rank positions in the army.

The daughters have also gone to school in the mansion, and their looks and abilities are very good.

Taking charge of general affairs and managing a few shops is nothing to worry about.

Nowadays, almost all clansmen have businesses at home, and every household has hundreds of acres of fertile land. The dowry can't keep up with yours, and there should be several thousand silver. "

Yuxiu said: "Mom, what did you say.

Now Jintang has a fifth-rank father-in-law who likes it, which is his good luck.

I have no objection, it's just that his errands are hidden, and I'm afraid that the brothers in the back street will look down on him. "

Yuxiu's tone is that she wants to have a kiss in the nearest capital.

This is also understandable.

After all, the Bai family is alone in Kyoto.

Shi Mei then said: "This is even simpler. I'll ask your sister-in-law to inquire about it tomorrow. You should listen to the news. Yajuan is still young, so don't worry, she must find a safe family."

Yuxiu left gratefully.

On Shimei's side, she will reject the Chen family's marriage.

People and children are fifteen, and most people also want to talk about their marriage. If they don't agree, they can't delay it any longer, and delay their meeting.

Shi Mei was very tactful in rejecting the marriage.

When Shi Mei saw Mrs. Chen again, she was very affectionate.

Then, baskets of fresh lotus roots from the lotus pond at home, or Lingzhi lotus root, were sent to the family.

However, Shi Mei only talked about her family's insincerity, and did not bring up the marriage anymore.

Mrs. Chen understood that the marriage would fail.

Mrs. Chen's main reason for being a matchmaker is guilt.

If it doesn't work, that's all.

The daughter-in-law of the Shen family's fourth-rank official family is not difficult to look at.

In mid-October, historians suddenly came to the door to announce the obituary.

Shi Hao died.

Shi Mei was very surprised.

Although Shi Nai's health is not good.

However, Shi Mei gave Lingyu to all three of their family.

There are more Lingzhi vegetables in the house, and I also give Shi Jia a share.

Why did he die suddenly?

After inquiring, I found out that because of his health, Shi Nai did not receive an errand.

Therefore, when Shiyue took his wife and daughter out for an outing, the clinker frightened the horse outside the city for no reason, and the carriage rolled over and fell into the bottom of the ditch.

Shi Nai's wife and daughter had only scratches, and their lives were unharmed.

After being startled, Shi Nai quickly tied their mother and daughter to the seats.

Shi Mao himself was thrown out of the carriage, his head just hit the stone, and the back of his head was completely dented.

When Shi Nai was rescued, he was already out of breath.

Now Shi Nai's body is still in Shuntian Mansion, his wife and daughter have returned home.

The doctor has been called.

None of the historians' descendants are in the capital, only members of the Shifang family are in the capital.

Now they are taking care of the historian mother and daughter.

The person who sent the obituary was the elder of the historian family.

He and Jia Mu are of the same generation.

He came to discuss with Jia's mother. Shi Ding and Shi Nai are two, which is the best way to send letters?

The current situation is very delicate, that is, which nephew to write to.

Whoever comes back first to preside over the funeral will probably inherit the Bowling Waiting.

At the same time, we should also support Shi Xiangyun, a niece.

In this whole life, Shi Mei never took Shi Xiangyun to live in the mansion.

Shi Nai didn't intend to send his daughter into the mansion either.

Shi Mei reckoned that it was Shi Mei's death and his wife's lack of energy that made her worried about her daughter and entrusted her to Shi Mei, an aunt?

However, the matter at hand must be taken care of by the Rong Mansion.

At least set things up for Shi Ding Shi Nai before he goes home.

Regarding who to send the letter to, Shi Mei is not going to favor anyone.

"The eldest brother died, and the two younger brothers should write.

Both of their brothers have grown up, and the matter of the Shi family is left to their brothers to solve by themselves.

As a married woman, I can't make up my mind. "

After dismissing the historians, Shi Mei sent someone to deliver a letter to Jia She and Jia Zheng.

Shi Nai is still in Shuntian Mansion, so someone needs to contact him.

At Mrs. Shi Nai's place, Shi Mei took Mrs. Zhang to the historian's house to visit.

It turned out that a nest of women from the clan crowded into the Bowling House, vying for the top job.

The housekeeper was helpless at all.

When Shi Mei entered, these people were scared, they didn't dare to make any more noise, but they guarded the hall and refused to leave.

Shi Mei didn't interfere, and ordered the officials in the waiting mansion: "Guard the second door, serve your wives and girls, wait for your second and third masters to return to the mansion, and your mission will be completed. They will not treat you badly."

The housekeeper Shi Fu kowtowed to Shi Mei: "Grandma, you have to reach out to save our wife, those sisters-in-law blocked the door, wanting to interfere in everything, beat up our wife's soup, making a lot of noise, our wife can't be quiet at all.

If things go on like this, how can we get it? "

Shi Mei said: "Anxin, I will go back later to persuade them to leave. Now take me to see your wife."

Mrs. Shi Nai was crying when she saw Shi Mei, her whole body trembling.

"Auntie, I beg you to save Yun girl, you can take her there, if you stay here, I'm afraid they will eat her alive.

Now everyone is vying to adopt Yun girl, Yun'er has a biological mother, why should someone adopt her.

They are not adopting, they are trying to pick my heart and liver.

Aunt, please show mercy, I don't care whether I live or die..."

Shi Mei immediately interrupted: "Nonsense, take good care of your illness, Yun'er will follow your mother, and no one can take it away."

All the way out, Shi Mei wondered: historians should also have scouts, why is it so useless that they can't even guard the door?

Shi Mei recruited Shi Fu for questioning.

Shi Fu wiped away his tears: "Reporting to my aunt, my uncle has been weak since he was a child, and he couldn't go on missions at all.

Old Hou Ye cultivated the second master and the third master very much.

Therefore, most of the scouts in the mansion followed the second and third masters.

The old lady was fine when she was there, and the three of them were not separated.

Then the old lady went, and the family broke up.

Although the uncle inherited the title, the family's support in the army was distributed to the second and third masters.

Uncle is an empty shell.

The only benefits are the [-] mu of land of meritorious service, and this Marquis Mansion, now..."

Now the Hou Mansion and Gongxun Tian will also change hands.

Shi Nai's wife entered the mansion with a dowry of [-] silver.

Shi Mei didn't know how the historians did it, so Xiangyun had to rely on Baochai for the 20 taels of silver to treat Xiangyun later.

Thinking of this, a memory suddenly appeared in Shi Mei's mind, which turned out to be Shi Mei's mother's dying crying.

The old lady was most worried about the fact that her eldest son was weak, so she shed tears and asked her sister-in-law to take care of him so as not to be bullied.

At that time, the faces of Shi Ding and Shi Nai, the other two sons of the Shi family, changed.

No one feels comfortable being suspected by one's own mother.

This sister-in-law is like a mother to the owner, which is quite good.

Dowry and everything, according to the rules of Kyoto, there is still a surplus.

At that time, together with the dowry from the Rong Mansion and the dowry from the historian, Jia's mother went out with a full [-] silver.

This is when Jia's mother died young and her father was sick.

This sister-in-law is very good-natured and very smart.

This can be seen from the abilities of her three sons.

Shi Mei remembered this story, and immediately put away her irrelevant thoughts.

The living cannot deceive the dead.

Furthermore, Shi Mei can't let the Shijia brothers stage a battle to seize property and become a laughing stock.

After Shi Mei thought about it, she went back to the bedroom of her nephew and daughter-in-law, and ordered Lai Madam to lead someone to guard the door, and she followed Mrs. Zhang into the inner room.

Shi Mei said: "Are all the valuables in the house? Your private property, the private property of Ji'er, are they all hidden away?

Will it be snatched away in a while? "

Mrs. Shi Nai nodded: "For the time being, it's still my body..."

Shi Mei said: "You rest at ease to recuperate from illness, when your two younger uncles come back, you can't live in this Marquis Mansion.

However, I will make the decision for you, and I will always give you a place to stay, and the property will be kept for you.

This is what your mother-in-law entrusted to me back then, don't worry! "

Mrs. Shi Nai burst into tears immediately, knelt on the pillow and kowtowed: "In this way, my nephew and daughter-in-law will not forget your kindness even after they die."

Shi Mei said: "You are young, don't talk about being discouraged, Yun'er is only three years old."

Mrs. Zhang was busy helping her to lie back down: "You are not in good health, don't think about it."

Shi Mei went out to the front hall, found the three brothers in the Shi family, and said bluntly.

"I hope that before the two nephews return to Beijing, the people in the clan will only support them outside.

If you want to do something, ask the housekeeper to withdraw money from the account.

However, women in the clan are not allowed to intervene in the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion and harass the nephew and daughter-in-law to recuperate from illness.

What are the qualifications for adopting the daughter of the Marquis Mansion?

I want those women to leave immediately.

Otherwise, I will notify Shuntian Mansion to arrest them for trespassing. "

Shimei's face was as cold as ice.

The lips of the three elders trembled, but they did not dare to refute.

These women also include women from their families.

Shi Mei sat in the living room: "I'll wait here, two quarters of an hour, if people don't leave, don't leave, wait for Shuntian to arrest them."

As soon as these words came out, these men became anxious.

The three clan elders scolded: "Aren't you going?"

Only then did Shi Mei tell the healthy women accompanying her: "It must be a surname, you go and do me a favor."

Then, thirty or so women with disheveled hair were dragged out of Shijia's backyard.

Shi Mei left behind Lai Da's son Lai Shangrong.

He has never left his citizenship all his life, and has become the little housekeeper of the Rong Mansion: "You keep an eye on this place, if someone dares to break into the back house, you just take your uncle's name badge to Shuntian Mansion to report the case, and let the yamen servant beat the board a few times and it will probably be quiet .”

Shi Mei expelled the clansmen here, and then went to the flower hall to visit the imperial physician who was blocked and dared not go out.Inquire about Mrs. Shi Nai and Xiangyun's condition.

The imperial doctor said: "The madam is not in any serious health condition, but she is mourning too much. The little girl was just frightened, and her body is not harmed."

Shi Mei said: "According to the imperial physician's experience, it is better for this little girl to follow her mother, or to change her environment?"

The imperial physician shook his head and said: "Mrs. Baoling was hysterical when she cried, and she hardly has the ability to take care of her daughter.

Furthermore, the child has been in this environment, and I am afraid that a minor illness will turn into a serious illness.

It is best to find a quiet and warm environment and foster for a period of time to eliminate the child's psychological shadow. "

Shi Mei then bowed to the imperial physician: "Please, my lord, come with me to see Mrs. Bao Linghou, and see if I can tell her what's wrong and let her be quiet for a while?"

Just now when Shi Mei asked about her assets, Mrs. Shi Nai was quite clear-headed.

So Xiao Yi, let her understand that the child cannot be in this kind of chaos, will she restrain herself for the sake of the child?

Then, as soon as Shi Mei turned around the veranda, she heard Mrs. Shi Nai crying hysterically.

Shi Mei was immediately discouraged.

This kind of howling Shimei felt deafening, how could the child bear it?

Shi Mei looked at the imperial physician: "Can you calm her down temporarily?"

The imperial doctor shook his head: "The old man has already prescribed Anshen Decoction, but I don't know why it didn't work.

The dose prescribed by the old man is enough, if the dose cannot be increased, any further increase will cause harm to the body. "

Shi Mei immediately said: "It seems that I just heard that the soup was smashed, you made the soup, maybe she didn't drink it?"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician said, "It's true, you can make another bowl and try."

When Shi Fu came, he said: "Madam's first soup has been smashed.

However, the Erdao Boil has already been taken, but there is no effect. I don't know if I can drink it again? "

Shi Mei listened to Madam Shi Nai's throat-breaking crying, and said: "Let's decoct the medicine. If this goes on, she won't be able to survive for a few more days. Let her calm down and have a good rest."

The imperial physician cupped his hands: "The Duke's wife has decided, this old man will go to dispense the medicine."

Mrs. Shi Nai ate the newly decocted potion, and barely supported herself and howled for another quarter of an hour.

In the end, he lost to the medicine and fell asleep peacefully.

After Shi Mei bowed to the imperial physician, someone sent him out.

Shi Mei went into the inner room again by herself, and Xiang Yun was almost dumbfounded.

Hiding in the nurse's arms and shivering.

Shi Mei took Xiangyun over, and said tentatively, "Go and see mother?"

Xiangyun waved his hands wildly: "No, no, no..."

The nanny said: "Madam beat the girl just now, and said it was the girl's fault..."

Shi Mei caressed Xiangyun: "Poor child, your mother is in a daze."

The nanny suddenly knelt down: "Our wife is confused. When she was awake, she ordered the servant to carry the girl to beg you, please take the girl in for a while, and hand it over to them when her second and third uncles come back.

Please, if you scare the girl a few more times, I think everyone will be useless, please..."

Shi Mei said: "Get up, your old lady entrusted me to me, and now your Madam Hou entrusted me, what can I say. That's it."

The family welcomes the spring and cherishes the spring and has already gone to school.

There is only one Tanchun left, who is about the same age as Xiangyun.

After Shi Mei returned home, she gave Xiangyun to Tanchun to play with.

Xiangyun held on to the nanny and didn't let go.

Shi Mei asked Xiangyun to watch Tanchun and a few of her playmates jumping on the grid, skipping rope, throwing a ball, kicking a shuttlecock and stacking handkerchiefs.

Xiangyun didn't dare to move in the nanny's arms at first.

I stayed like this for three days.

On the fourth day, although Xiangyun didn't participate, his eyes began to laugh with their rhythm.

Her eyes were slanted, and she ran after Kenko Yu.

On the fifth day, Xiangyun played with Tanchun unknowingly, and in the next few days, he became acquainted with a few accompanying girls.

Then there was the crisp laughter that filled the room.

After that, he never mentioned looking for his mother again.

Although a three-year-old child has a lot of forgetfulness, it should be his nature to look for his mother.

Xiangyun, on the other hand, was reluctant to think about Shu, and later became acquainted with Yingchun Xichun, her elder sister was long and her elder sister was short.

Soon he dared to discuss with Shi Mei: "Old Ancestor, I want to sleep with Sister Yingchun."

three days later.

Yingchun yawned and came to look for Shimei: "Grandmother, Xiangyun babbled all night, asking questions, curious about everything.

I fell asleep and she would shake me awake.

She also kept spinning day and night without getting tired at all, which my granddaughter really couldn't bear. "

Xiangyun knew that he couldn't sleep with Yingchun, so he looked at Xichun.

Xichun didn't dare to accept the move.

Tanchun finally accepted Xiangyun. She hasn't read the book yet, so she doesn't need to endorse it. She just needs to write the post, and she has free time: "You are not allowed to talk after Zishi, is it possible?"

Xiangyun flatly responded.

Tanchun is now in Rongqing Hall.

Tanchun was taught by Wang Shuhua, who can observe words and deeds, and is very clever.

If Yingchun didn't like it, she just said it straight away.

She has the support of her grandmother and mother.

Her older siblings also liked her very much.

She didn't do it on purpose, she just got used to it.

She is a sweet little girl.

Not only her, Xichun is also not afraid of people.There was something wrong with the servant, so she told Balabala to tell her aunt and grandmother.

Although Xichun is a concubine, no one in the house dares to disobey her because the Zhang family handles things upright.

Tanchun is different.

She knew that she was different from her sisters.

Xiangyun was brought back by her grandmother, and she lives in her grandmother's territory. If Xiangyun, whom my grandmother likes, cannot be found, my grandmother will feel bad.

Shi Mei looked at it for a while, and finally confirmed that no matter whose belly Tanchun crawled out of, even if she was born a year earlier, she would still be that Tanchun, with all the cleverness.

Xiangyun should be one year older than Tanchun, but because of Tanchun's mother's change, the birth time was earlier, Xiangyun became a younger sister instead.

A full year younger than Tanchun.

Ren Ran is the same age as Daiyu.

Xiangyun originally liked to play with his eldest sister.

However, the two elder sisters, Yingchun Xichun, couldn't bear her noise, and were unwilling to accept her nonsense.

She turned around and became good sisters with Tanchun.

He can't stop chatting with Tanchun all day long, he is simply a curious baby.

Shi Mei finally believed that Xiangyun was indeed sparse by nature.

Half a month later, Xiangyun settled down in Rongfu.

The second and third sons of the historian have all returned to Beijing.

Shi Nai's body has been kept in the government office because there is no family to claim it.

However, Jia She sold a large number of ice cubes.

The whole coffin room is like an ice cellar, and the remains are kept very well.

Shi Nai and Shi Ding did not go home, but were blocked by Jia Amnesty's men at the gate of the city, and were taken to the Yamen to identify the corpse.

Shi Nai and Shi Ding had read the government's investigation and evidence collection, admitted that the car accident was an accident, and then closed the case.

On the same day, welcome Shi Jia back.

Jia Amnesty was relieved to see that the two brothers did not refuse their elder brother to return home because of his murderous death.

Shi Mei was worried that this matter would make a joke, so she finally felt relieved at this moment.

The mourning hall of the Bowling Hou Mansion was also set up long ago under the management of Jia She and Jia Zheng.

The coffin is greeted back directly above the coffin hall.

At such a time, Mrs. Bowling Hou ate three bowls of calming soup every day because of the hysteria, and she got self-cultivation and gradually became sober.

The scouts sent by the Rong Mansion were about to withdraw, and let Shi Nai and Shi Ding's men take over.

Shi Mei personally presided over the handover.

It is against the rules for Jia Amnesty to intervene when the Lord returns home.

It was not very reasonable for Shi Mei to intervene, but because of her sister-in-law's entrustment, Shi Mei had no choice but to act.

At such times, Shi Mei summoned her two nephews to meet.

He expressed his own opinion: "Your elder brother has no son, so the title must be continued from brother to brother.

However, I was entrusted by your mother on her deathbed, and I cannot disappoint a deceased person.

So, no matter how much you dislike me, I will do the last thing for you big brother.

That's the problem with your big brother legacy orphans.

After all, he is not alone, he has a widow and an infant daughter.

(The ancients were weaned at the age of three, but Xiangyun was only two years old and had not yet been weaned.)"

Shi Nai and Shi Ding felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the words: "How does Auntie want to divide?"

Shi Mei waved her hand: "You have already separated, there is no further separation.

What I mean is that your elder brother's title, title, must be handed over to the future bowler.

However, these years, your brothers can't touch your brother's private property, it has to be left to Xiangyun, the orphan of Shi Tai, are you convinced? "

Shi Nai and Shi Ding breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't want to recruit Xiangyun's son-in-law to inherit the title.

Or the eldest son continued to live in the main hall of the Hou's mansion, and took care of the middle school of the Hou's mansion, making a fuss for no apparent reason.

Just like the old Princess' mansion, it became a joke that the younger brother-in-law was in charge of the outside and the sister-in-law was in charge of the house.

Both of them said: "It's natural, the elder brother's property should be inherited by Xiangyun, we as uncles will definitely not compete with our niece for this."

Shi Mei smiled: "Okay, the people from Dalong Bank are outside, I have already made an appointment with them, before your wife moves into the Hou's mansion, I will count out your elder brother's private property and deposit it in Dalong Bank.

One copy for you, one copy for Xiangyun, and one copy for the government office.

In this way, Xiangyun has something to rely on, and you uncles will not complain.

When he sees your mother someday, I can explain it to you. "

After Shi Mei finished speaking, Shi Nai and Shi Ding looked a little unhappy: Auntie is just like their mother, don't you believe them?

Shi Mei took a look at the dissatisfaction of their brothers: "If I was a utilitarian person, if it wasn't because of your mother's entrustment at the end of life, I would not care about it. Hello, me, everyone.

The worst thing is that Xiangyun loses the support of his property, sends him under the fence, and eats some cheap food. "

Shi Nai and Shi Ding blushed: "We will never do such pig and dog things again."

However, in the original work of Xiangyun, one has to spend half the night doing needlework after eating.

Which family of Houmen's daughter is living like this?

Shi Mei said: "Of course you don't, but after all, you are old men, you work as officials for thousands of miles, and you don't stay at home all year round.

After all, Xiangyun can't go to office with you to live a life. "

Does this imply that their wives will embezzle selfishness and be mean to Xiangyun?

can you?
